How sad...Another self hating Jew who has been kidnapped and brainwashed by society..with the lack of a solid Jewish education.. The Yetza Hara (evil inclination) has gotten the best of him and you can hear it in his voice. He is a lost soul looking for truth. Every Jew deep down knows the truth, but gets dragged down and pulled away by the world. Kevin..give it up!!! you're a beautiful Yid with a fire of Jewish soul that just wants to fly!! Lchaim.
The contemporary zealots, e.g. Dershowitz, AIPAC et cetera, have a stranglehold on Jewish discourse. It's tragic--one only needs to see what the kanaim's actions led to last time those boors had their way. Most Jews, however, don't seem to realize that they call thelselves Jews thanks to Yochanan ben Zakkai and that they owe their diaspora to kanaim's blind-militarism. Looks like history is bound to repeat itself.
This man is a fool. If he actually picked up a book instead of writing about his moral inferiority complex, this might be moving. But that's usually how it goes...
Kevin, I hear your dismay and disappointment about Israeli policies. But, is it really entirely Israel's fault? Is the conflict only on Israel's shoulders? Are Palestinians merely passive victims, or are they also actors in this tragedy? This is not a black and white, either/or situation. You say you fear anti-Semitism's resurgence. But, as you know, it is anti-Semites who blame Jews for all evil. Ask yourself, my brother, are you somehow doing a similar thing by blaming Israel entirely?
You must be blind if you don't see the evidence that yes, Israel is overwhelmingly to blame. Transfer, ethnic cleansing, use of white phosphorus, numerous war crimes, non-adherence to international law, daily humiliation of indigenous inhabitants, theft of water, fertile soil and tax credits, thousands of illegal Palestinian political prisoners, regular invasions of its neighbors, active discrimination, condoning of extremist Jewish settler fascists, too many to list. Yes, it is to blame.
Thank you so much for posting this! First saw him at an interfaith concert at DePaul last spring and I was lucky to see him at Cafe Intifada over the wknd.
